All About Carrie

I've been thinking a lot lately about what it means to be truly satisfied. I have been thinking about what I had thought would satisfy me, and have realized that it really has just left a big void. The only thing that can offer true satisfaction is Jesus Christ. Knowing Him. Loving Him. Glorifying Him. To quote John Piper, "God is most glorified in us when we are most satisfied in him".

I have been pretty unsatisfied lately. This is really my own doing. I am working on this—it is a long process.

Psalm 90: 14
Satisfy us in the morning with your unfailing love, that we may sing for joy and be glad all our days.

Isaiah 58:11
The LORD will guide you always; he will satisfy your needs in a sun-scorched land and will strengthen your frame. You will be like a well-watered garden, like a spring whose waters never fail.
If we take Jesus at his Word, and start trusting that He will give us all that we need...why do we need to pursue all the things that the world pursues?
